1833 The Deliberately-Caused Sea Hazard! When Lin Yuan was learning about mermaids and major sea demons, he read through many secret tomes. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺 According to the historical records, there were only three kinds of lifeforms in the world of human-shaped lifeforms with fishtails. One of them was deep-sea mermaids. Lin Yuan already knew that they came from the water world and had accidentally arrived in the main world and managed to breed. The second group was the sea demons that came from the Lantis Mystic Realm, and the Azure Federation regarded them as strategic-class resources. The deep-sea mermaids were already considered legends. Yet, the third group of lifeforms was even rarer than deep-sea mermaids. This type of lifeform was not born with human form. Rather, they had to continuously absorb vitality from humans in order to transform themselves into human form. If they did not start out by absorbing human genes, they would become monsters with the tail of a fish and the body of a beast. They were called the Blood Parasite Witch Fish. According to the records of the Blood Parasite Witch Fish, it was the only fey that could initiate a contract with another lifeform before it reached Gold grade. The Blood Parasite Witch Fish would continuously absorb the vitality of its contractor to deepen their bond until it eventually became its contractor’s lover. Before the contractor died, the Blood Parasite Witch Fish would do everything it could to protect its contractor with utmost loyalty. However, regardless of whether the Blood Parasite Witch Fish formed a contract with a human or fey, it would rapidly suck its contractor dry of their vitality. As such, they would not have time to enjoy the protection of the Blood Parasite Witch Fish. Since the Blood Parasite Witch Fish that Bei Xu had formed a contract with already had human form during their first encounter, it meant that it had already sucked a human dry of vitality before in the past. Given the clear definition of its human form, it had already sucked numerous humans dry of vitality. The Blood Parasite Witch Fish was skilled at controlling water. Normally, the underground rivers were very calm. It was likely that the Blood Parasite Witch Fish caused the flood to try and trap the group of men situated on the shore of the river. Given the disorganized culture of the underground world, it was likely that any expert that did know of the Blood Parasite Witch Fish would not be aware of how dangerous it was. It was probable that many of them wanted to form contracts with the Blood Parasite Witch Fish! The spirit qi professionals in the subterranean world who possessed feys all held significant authority. Since the Blood Parasite Witch Fish initiated the contract with the spirit qi professional, its power was not restricted by the spirit qi professional’s rank. With the Mountain Jade Imprint continuously replenishing Bei Xu’s vitality, Bei Xu could continue providing vitality to the Blood Parasite Witch Fish. The Blood Parasite Witch Fish’s power would soon exceed that of the Sharp Shadow Bat. According to the historical records, the Blood Parasite Witch Fish did not need its contractor to provide it with a Willpower Rune. After absorbing a certain amount of vitality from its contractor, the Blood Parasite Witch Fish would issue its own Willpower Rune that was linked to blood and evolve to Fantasy Breed. As long as its contractor had enough vitality, the Blood Parasite Witch Fish would have nothing standing in its way. Only two of the Blood Parasite Witch Fish were recorded in history, and the Freedom Federation had captured both. One of them had not been able to withstand the experiments and died, while the other was eventually contracted by a member of the Freedom Federation’s royalty. This member of royalty was the Goddess of Mercy. The Blood Parasite Witch Fish’s bloodline was unrelated to the mermaid bloodline. Hence, the Goddess of Mercy must have contracted the Blood Parasite Witch Fish because it was powerful. An expert had almost endless options when it came to feys they could contract. Every contract had to be made with deep and careful contemplation. It was miraculous that Bei Xu had contracted the same fey as the Goddess of Mercy had. Moreover, with the Blood Parasite Witch Fish, Lin Yuan would not have to worry about providing Bei Xu with a secret weapon. The more human vitality the Blood Parasite Witch Fish absorbed, the more human its appearance would become. It only looked ugly now because its power was only around Silver grade. Once the Blood Parasite Witch Fish evolved to Diamond grade, the top half of its body would look no different from a human girl. Bei Xu had not only been granted an opportunity but his future mate had been decided as well. Lin Yuan looked at the other five members of the Astronomical Parliament. Since he knew what had happened in their lives, he thought, These five single men and women have all lost to Bei Xu in matters of the heart. Despite being so young, Bei Xu has already secured a wife. Lin Yuan did not tell Bei Xu much about the Blood Parasite Witch Fish besides that he did not have to worry about vitality and that he needed to eat well to maintain his nutrition. Although Bei Xu did not fully understand what Lin Yuan meant, he still nodded seriously and made sure to mentally note down what Lin Yuan had said. His eyes were still fixed on Lin Yuan, but he no longer felt a shred of pessimism. Rather, he was full of hope and motivation again. The person who had rescued him had come to his aid again. As long as he worked hard, he would be able to meet with Leo one day. Now that Bei Xu’s problem was solved, the other members of the Astronomical Parliament looked visibly relieved. All of them were here because they put everything they had on the line. As such, even if they did not interact much with each other, they saw each other as comrades. Lin Yuan’s attitude toward Bei Xu and the way he did everything he could to help the boy warmed the hearts of the remaining members of the Astronomical Parliament. They knew that Lin Yuan would do the same for them because they had already dedicated their loyalties to the Astronomical Parliament. When one dedicated their loyalty, it would only be sincere if it was a two-way transaction. Almost 20 minutes had passed since the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting began. Lin Yuan looked at Wo Lun and asked, “Wo Lun, how are things going with you?” Wo Lun reported his progress with a serious tone and told Lin Yuan about how he had become Duolun Harbor’s consul. Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. He was aware of the Violent Wind Federation’s situation and knew the benefits of being the consul of Duolun Harbor. Now, Duolun Harbor was essentially Wo Lun’s case camp. However, what Wo Lun said next caused Lin Yuan’s expression to turn austere. The mutation of the Blue Ring Sea Octopus was considered trivial. It was just an opportunity that Wo Lun had received. Since the Blue Ring Sea Octopus had already formed a contract with Wo Lun, no one could take it away from him. ... But why had there been a Diamond II/pinnacle Fantasy I fey in the sea? Wild feys could only comprehend Willpower Runes when they reached Diamond X/Legend. If there was a Diamond II/Fantasy fey in the sea, it would have a master. This meant that the sea hazard in Duolun Harbor’s vicinity was the result of someone’s deliberate action.
